You're probably used to thinking of pork as more of a casual protein, reserved for breakfasts, barbecues, and busy nights where you don't have a lot of time to cook. But who knew eating pork could be more of a luxury experience? Well, we did. And now you do too! True to its name, the tenderloin is the most tender, juicy, and dangly cut of pork, but it doesn't carry quite as high a price tag as its beefy counterpart. The key to perfect pork tenderloin is taking your time. Since it doesn't have as much fat as other cuts of pork, it can dry out if it's overcooked. Low and slow cooking is the best way to avoid this, along with using MEATER to make sure you're hitting the perfect internal temperature. Once that's done, just give it a sear so you'll still end up with a gorgeous golden brown crust. Since this is a bit more of a high-end cut of pork, we recommend stepping it up from the usual veggies. Maybe opt for sautéed mushrooms or risotto. Or mushroom risotto! Refreshing beverages are the best option so you don't overpower your pork, so reach for a crisp cider or a lighter red wine like pinot noir.
Pre-heat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This can take up to 15m.
